Note: Look carefully at the name of the boat I noticed yesterday in the middle of a video.

Updates:

1. Boston Globe and Fox 25 are totally incommunicado, asleep at the wheel despite being notified about this. They both had good prior coverage, I am holding the Fox 25 VHS (remember those LOL) in my hand, and it will be part of the final KingCast short film. The Globe wrote about a $175K verdict in a Worcester case (which I cannot find online) but this case was ten (10) times that, so yah I find it more newsworthy call me crazy.

So here you have three sets of neighbors, one set still tight as Gorilla Glue after 37 years. Another still tight after 5 years. And one set that witnesses acts so severe as to warrant a $1.6M verdict for Civil Rights and property claims in Scott Hyman/Julie & Don Prescott v. Hemlock Association of Lakeville, MA.

They should have taken the Settlement offer, it was peanuts next to this, but their collective and individual hubris did them in, ahem. As if this is going to be overturned on Appeal, you better think again. The Judge was fair and impartial, didn't kneecap either side. I watched him carefully.

I can't wait to video Joanna Marinova's Defamation case and see what the idiots at the Boston Globe do. As for the Hemlock Defendant, those of you who didn't take the previous advice to cop a Homestead during one of the meetings you selectively notified folks about don't go trying to do it now because you really can't..... You've already got a Judgment against you so that property can be attached, kinda' piercing the corporate veil style 'cos the Association is your Alter Ego. And these homes for most of you are summer homes, Holmes so you can't cop a Homestead on it anyway, that's elementary, Watson. Wave buh'-bye to somebody's property, who will be the sacrificial lamb?

It will be a few days before my exclusive final video and interview with Messrs Hyman, Prescott and others is online. I would say it will probably not be up before the weekend. I'm taking my time with this one, and incorporating a lot of footage including the original FOX 25 segment.

KingCast: Reel news for real people.Defendant Hemlock Association's Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict/Motion for New Trial:Chiefly it argues that there was not enough indirect evidence to infer that the Association members committed any of the violations complained of. I did not see the entire trial but I did see at least two witnesses testify that they witnessed trespass, as shown in my videos. There are also arguments that the Defense was kneecapped by not being able to introduce evidence they claim could show that "renegade motorcycle clubs" could have burned out Mr. Hyman's Middleboro home. Defendants also claim that they should have been allowed to mention Mr. Hyman's bankruptcy filing but of course if they are permitted to broach that subject then he will be permitted to delve into the attorney fees and costs he has had to pay in the other litigation that he will allege broke his wallet and left him unable to tender an effective subsequent bid on the property. Stay tuned for the Plaintiff's Reply Memorandum.

10:30 a.m. 12 June update, Plaintiff's response:Okay, I missed several days of trial because I was traveling. Attorney Minchoff is expected to argue on the swastika/feces/urine/picnic tables through the windows that Scott Hyman did produce testimony at trial that Bren Ladino told him "I didn't do it but I'm not saying someone else in the association didn't," and that Richard Pedranti told him "I don't know who did it but your kind is not welcome here."

This in conjunction with the now-infamous "You wouldn't want to wind up like a buoy would you.... that's a dead fucking thing that floats in the water....."

Objection! you scream..... You can't have Scott Hyman talking about the damages to his house because there's only inferential proof that anyone tied to the Association did it. Well that's a great argument..... except it wasn't made at trial, where the Defendants had only a standing objection to Hearsay. But the Hyman & Prescott observations of the degradation of their respective properties is not Hearsay.... it's a firsthand event, so now the Motion for JNOV is basically asking His Honor to strike that which was not objected to. Once the Jury had the testimony it was not unreasonable for it to find a Causal.

So I don't like Defedant's chances on that, but perhaps the Association could sue Attorney Serkey for malpractice if this is such a key point and he missed it, and then his insurance carrier could settle it up with the Plaintiffs. That would make a nice and tidy picture..... I wouldn't know, because while I was never a "Superlawyer" I also never got sued for malpractice..... I only help people recover for malpractice claims, i.e. Derrick Gillenwater v. "Superlawyer" Jeffrey Denner hahaha.... (Harvard Citizen Media blog coverage).

But alas, I digress. Also interesting is the admission that Hemlock buddy Steven Berk likely committed the arson at Mr. Hyman's Middleboro home (p. 11) but only to get rid of some DNA evidence as opposed to because of Mr. Hyman's Jewish background. Oh, okay, that's cool then..... my bad, dude.

Lastly, there is a reference at page 12 to some allegedly threatening words that Scott Hyman said to a customer about burning houses down. The Motion reads "We [were screwed] because we were precluded inquiry into an intense dispute going on in April, 2006......"

KingCast review of the matter, including a phone call to the hosting newspaper, reveals that the story was written by a reporter no longer at the paper and that the story was written on 4 June 1995. I knew that, I could tell that because of the cars involved. Fascinating.

Scott Hyman used to be a vibrant, upbeat kind of guy. But that all changed after folks in his racist community smashed his windows with picnic benches, smeared urine and feces throughout his home and committed other acts so incredible as to shock the human conscience. Read this post.

Sunday, June 20, 2010

Double-Dutch and Money had volume input maxed from an earlier engagement, had to just push the volume down later on edit, which doesn't really help the clarity so that's the only bummer, other than that it is great to be an Intelligent and Free Black Man, doing exactly what I want to do, on my terms. Here are the stills from yesterday.

That's what it's all about, right?

Off for a ride on the 650R, another short film due late night for my Jewish brother Scott Hyman, getting feces and urine dumped in his new home, what an interesting trial that is. Here's some KingCast HD video.

This is a case so foul that even seasoned court personnel looked on in shock and utter disbelief. The video is coming. Wait for it.

"Mr. Pedranti said 'you shouldn't stick your nose in other people's business,' and he said he had 'friends in Boston I wouldn't want to meet....' I said excuse me? Are you threatening me? He says "Did you grow up on the water?" "No" "Then you don't know what a bouy is... it's a dead fucking thing that floats in the water, and you wouldn't want to find yourself being a bouy would you."

Pedranti then walked off to Defendant Ladino's home.

Scott Hyman worked hard, bought his own little island at Lakeville Long Pond and started to rehabilitate existing structures in order to build a place where he could live in "peace and quiet," as he testified today at Brockton Superior Courthouse. Instead he was met with death threats, swastikas, picnic tables through his window, theft and an application of urine and feces smeared throughout his new home. There is an access/easement property dispute at hand, but behind, around and even perhaps in front of that matter are the alleged Civil Rights, nuisance, trespass and emotional distress claims mounted by Plaintiff Hyman, and they reflect extremely disturbing, inhumane behavior of the lowest Order.

As someone who has lived racism in housing (we were some of the first blacks in Cleveland Heights in 1970 and involved in Heights Community Congress v. Hilltop Realty, 774 F.2d 135 (6th Cir. 1985), cert. denied, 475 U.S. 1019 (1986)), and as someone who has successfully litigated Housing Discrimination (Hamm v. Gahanna) I took a keen interest in this case and plan to report on it as much as time allows. What if he were black? Same thing. It wouldn't surprise me if there were restrictive covenants to prevent "Kikes" and "Niggers" from owning that property in the first place.... It gives me the creeps, right here in good ol' "liberal" Massachusetts.

Having attended Hawken, a largely Jewish-attended prep school in Cleveland (fun visit video here) most of my friends were and still are Jewish. And while we may have disagreements over the Gaza Strip or other Mid East matters, if anyone ever harmed them based on religion or race I would have their back, totally.

I wish I had time to attend the entire trial but I have obligations to my nonprofit group, but fortunately I was able to get some of his direct testimony this morning and am working on a raw video montage. Everything in this piece will be raw, no photoshops whatsoever, as befits the occasion. Enjoy the stills, I'm working on the video now and hope to have it up before I leave for my nonprofit activity at 4p. Having hosted a Hate Crimes forum with noted Civil Rights lawyer Terry Gilbert and Ohio former AG Lee Fisher (both of whom I clerked for in law school), I am appalled. I was appalled when it happened to my brother Michael Goldstein in Nashua, NH a few years ago, and I was appalled when it happened to then-UMass Amherst student Jason Vassell, in a case in which a racist prosecutor named Elizabeth Scheibel actually went after the victim, eventually dismissing all charges against him while not even prosecuting one of his drunken white attackers, watch the video.

As the state’s attorney general at the time, Kelly Ayotte was responsible for going after criminals like those at Financial Resources Mortgage, a company whose executives’ alleged Ponzi scheme bilked at least 150 investors out of more than $20 million. According to a recent attorney general report, the Ponzi scheme has “had a substantial and long lasting impact on the investors who, in my cases, lost their life savings.”

The report states that, under Ayotte, the attorney general’s office repeatedly missed opportunities to uncover and stop the Ponzi scheme.

Despite the report’s findings, Kelly Ayotte refuses to release the entirety of her emails and other key documents related to the massive fraud case. On May 11, documents from Ayotte’s time in office were released to the public, yet none of them referred to FRM, instead revealing correspondence from Ayotte related to office pizza parties and other administrative functions.

September 8, 1997, New Hampshire: Brian Chabot is sentenced to ten months in prison and home detention for his role in stealing $100,000 worth of military equipment from Fort Devens in 1995. Chabot and two other members of the militia group called the Hillsborough County Dragons stole the equipment, then later offered to retrieve it for authorities from "organized crime."

But of Course Kelly Ayotte is a big business dupe and pretty much ran a criminal enterprise as NH AG IMHO anyway, her cover up of the Franconia shooting tragedy and FRM Ponzi scams, etc. are the tip of the iceberg, as noted in the KingCast Bowfinger or Bad Blood series.

"As someone who hosted a hate crimes forum at Case Western Reserve Law School with the Ohio AG's office and Civil Rights lawyer Terry Gilbert when I worked for both of them I'm going to have to disagree with you on the racial element, as I agree with Mr. Vassell's professor I interviewed in this KingCast video:

Race was a but-for cause for Messrs. Bosse and Bowes to bother Mr. Vassell at his window, which they broke and were not charged with. Race continued into the vestibule where you can clearly see Bosse and Bowes refusing to leave. They have previous race charges and abused women, misogyny and racism often go hand-in-hand.

This is not the first time that Prosecutor Scheibel's office has attacked a black man who defended himself against white aggressors, I directly know of another case involving a fellow with the last name also beginning with a "V" whom I posted about on prior occasion, wait for it... Demian Vennell.

Mr. Vassell was intoxicated too yet no one was charged with that, but what you miss is the fact that Jason was allowed to be intoxicated BECAUSE HE WAS IN HIS ROOM!

And while he waited in the vestibule, scared, with a hooded sweatshirt and mask, that is HIS VESTIBULE, Bosse and Bowes were TRESPASSING so he should have been entitled to avail himself of the Castle Doctrine anyway, MGL 278 8A.

Nah guys, this case has racism written all over it from its inception to completion. You can't really deny it, sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade."

UPDATE...... From 30 years to nothing. First KingCast video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpjrpt26L_I. Well, pretrial probation completion, 2 more months. Veddy interesting. I've got raw footage and a KingCast video coming up in the next few hours and days, including the racist, unwarranted and unprovoked hallway vestibule attack by Messrs Bosse and Bowes (video capture above), Disposition and interviews with Mr. Vassell's Aunts and college professor. And I told you before with respect to Cat Gibbons and Miracle Mortgage that Martha Coakley is a racist AG, watch her and the Massachusetts Division of Banks backpedal after vigorous KingCast video and legal analysis of their racist prosecution against her for being a black female mortgage broker who did Stated Income Deals (according to her white bank lenders' policies I might add) that put no one in harm's way. I'll be reviewing their Settlement Offer with her and licensed counsel this weekend, seems they don't want a hearing anymore either, ahem.Official Statement from Justice for Jason:

We demand a formal public apology from District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel and Attorney General Martha Coakley for 1) Selectively prosecuting Jason while letting two men with extensive histories of racially-motivated attacks walk away with little or no charges; and 2) ignoring the calls and pleas from their constituents to reverse this mistake and dismiss the charges against Jason.

Sooooo......In the last related post I discussed the shit-show that passes for Justice in Commonwealth v. Vassell. The conductors for this racist circus lynching include Perps Jon Bosse and John Bowes, Prosecutors Elizabeth Scheibel and Dunphy-Farris and features Community volunteer and then-UMass student Jason Vassell as the teased and exploited lion.

To the rescue came several media teams including Justice for Jason and Yours Truly and a gaggle of practicing attorneys including some folks from the ACLU including John Reinstein. I got up with ACLU on prior occasion when I was Boston Bob, seeking and obtaining some measure of Justice for Derrick Gillenwater, another victim of Massachusetts Jurisprudential racism at the hands of a couple of abusive attorneys and several Judges.

But what, pray tell, is the ultimate rescue in this case where a black man (Vassell) is racially teased and assaulted by two drunken white men who rush into his dorm room vestibule and break his nose without provocation?

Well as someone who has won criminal trials and busted cops for making my client a victim of violent crime V96-61481 and videotaped the notorious Dan Talbot Murder Trial I have my guesstimate as to what will happen in a few hours and I told it to Boston Strangler and Franconia shooting crime writer Casey Sherman but I’m not going to divulge what it was here until afterward. I never guess on a case not my own but someone else sure did, and here’s what they said:

Malcolm (seen here doing his best Bull Connor imitation) said...Thanks for the great coverage Chris. As you may know there are a few different resolutions that could take place. While a plea bargain is one, there is also "continuance w/o finding" and "pre-trial probation 27687." Remember the DA has NO leverage in this case, and every lawyer we talk to is dumbfounded that the facts are as clear and racist as they are! Don't be surprised if a final resolution is not a plea bargain after all.

See you tomorrow!10:14 PM

We shall see, but I'll not mince words with Prosecutor Sheibel, as I told Attorney Harvey Silverglate on 15 April 2010 she's a total cracker, read it for yourself:KingCast reminds Harvery Silverglate: Scheibel prosecutes bullies when they harm white girls, but she rewards them for bullying nigger Jason Vassell.

Soooo.... Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy and Heather Graham got away with what is clearly a subversive flick, because few movies poke as much fun at Hollywood or do it as well as Bowfinger. By the way, Bowfinger's popularity is up 9% this week because dozens of folks are Googling it in part because of Yours Truly. You see, making a movie on The Cheap is one of the most frustrating yet rewarding events known to man. What's even more fun is the fact that your entire life is a movie, if only you could capture it. This is particularly true if you push the envelope politically or legally a ton of interesting things pop up in your life, you got that right. Well the fun of it is that I can, and do, capture it. Take for example today's featured video, which wasn't even meant to be a video, it was just my mother and me, chillin' out at Sunday Service, until I saw a familiar and welcome figure in the pulpit :)

The Bowfinger or Bad Blood concept (videos here) was brewing a long time ago when I was told by several members of the North Country that they trusted me more than anyone else to tell the story of the Franconia shooting tragedy, and it was cemented when I read the 2009 book by Casey Sherman (likened to my idol Mike Royko in this post) "Bad Blood: Freedom and Death in the White Mountains" (book launch video here).

p. 203 Sherman also writes

"...one cannot deny that he has had his share of success. King was responsible for uploading the Sarah E. arrest video onto YouTube and he also released many of the Liko-Kenney--McKay case documents on his Web site. He has been spurned by many so-called legitimate reporters, but Chris King has been a tenacious advocate for the Kenney family and a major thorn in the side of New Hampshire law enforcement."

There's no secret that Casey and I disagree that Liko Kenney's car only struck Bruce McKay once, and how bad Bruce McKay really was, and the illegality of his encounters with Liko Kenney. I have the Attorney Sisti investigative files on my desk, however, and I'm confident in my position. But the larger issue that Casey and I agree on is the fact that I'm doing the things that the Big Media Guns don't really want me to do, just like Bobby Bowfinger. Steve Martin is of course a Big Media Gun, but I get the feeling that folks like him (and Murphy and Graham) will never lose their sense of humor or appreciation for those less powerful. Same goes for Yvette McGee Brown, and that's part of the reason why she and Ted Strickland should win the Ohio Governor's race this fall.

UPDATE: KingCast field correspondents report that they came through the pouring rain but they will have to come back again, and when they come back on Friday, I may be with them. It is the constant and unrelenting coverage of this case that was initiated and maintained by Justice for Jason and followed with even more hard core raw video and dozens of pictures of concerned citizens holding puppies and raising hands from KingCast.net that has the racist white prosecutor Elizabeth Scheibel on her heels, viva the First Amendment, viva the Fourth Estate. I've been through this before folks, run a search for "Dunn" or "Albrecht" or "Jaffrey" on this blog.*************Funny, some tool wrote in to tell me what I already knew, which is that Jason Vassell may plead guilty to some reduced charge tomorrow, after the racist white prosecutor Elizabeth Scheibel threw the book at him for defending himself with a work knife after two drunken white boys broke his window, taunted him with "nigger" threats and rushed into the foyer of his dorm room and broke his nose.

Now run along son and go on back and throw some beer on a "cunt" or "bitch" or whatever you call your women. And let me make this clear to you, punk: You come up on me like those boys did to Jason Vassell and you'll get more than cut fool, I'll show you the purpose of a hearse.
